How do i find the value of the unknown variable

6x + 2 + 40 = 90

Let x = the unknown

6x + 42 = 90

6x = 90 - 42

6x = 48

x = 48/6

x = 8

x=8

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that 40 + (6x+2)  +90 = 180   since the three angles form a straight line

40 + (6x+2)  +90 = 180

Combine like terms

132 + 6x = 180

Subtract 132 from each side

132-132 +6x= 180-132

6x = 48

Divide each side by 6

6x/6 = 48/6

x = 8

answer: first option i.e. 'a' is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

since we have given that

number of minutes to wrap a small gift box = 4 minutes

we need to find the number of gifts to be wrapped in 5 minutes

since there is a direct variation, as the number of minutes will increase with   number of gifts to be wrapped.

so, let the number of gifts to be wrapped in 5 minutes be x.

so, it becomes,

hence, first option 'a'   is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

the answer is 89 d
